Model drawing is not easy on many children and if your child like mine can’t do it, there is a way out unlike what the school teachers may make it sound. It is not just the visualization part alone but the idea of drawing and getting the drawing neat enough to match the dimensions to infer the steps and answers can be challenging to some children. My DS managed an A in 2020 PSLE without using model at all. And if it was not for careless mistakes he should have gotten an A*. When I realized he just refused to do models no matter what the reward is, I found an experienced teacher who taught him other methods to solve problems. If your child does not do models well, don’t blame the child.
